Yes, it's gonna be a sensitive issue if you're not used to religion.
But you can leave because i'm not forcing you to read this =)
As i was doing my devotion earlier, I've been reminded by God once more that none of us deserves to come before Our Lord Father in confidence. We are weak, frail, sinful, and often broken.
Little in our lives suggests that we might be worthy of an audience with God. And yet, God patiently listens to the mumbles of our unclean lips and becomes active in our prayer.
God, the Holy spirit helps us by cleaning up what we say, sorting it out, and presenting it before the Father. He never throws up His hands in frustration over our failures. He never has "had enough" of our inability to make our lives conform to what he calls us to be.
I thank Him because He not only listens to us and hears us, but he also knows best on HOW and WHEN to answer our prayers. This doesn't means that He will always give us what we ask. If that were the case, he would be less than we'd expect Him to be. Instead, as we pray, the Spirit intercedes, and the Father grants us what we need, based on His knowledge of the entire scope of our lives.
The best thing is that, those who trust in Him, we were part of His Kingdom and His beloved Sons and Daughters

Looking back at those years, come to think of it, i have never actually blame on things that comes around in my life, excluded my parents. Yeah, that was one i need to ask for forgiveness.
Sometimes i'm just so weak because i always complain about them.
But as time flies, when i'm more stable in handling stuff and having my own view, I found that they were right all these while. They're just afraid that their child might fall, especially when having a child like me, no doubt that they'll be more nervous to make any promises.
Guess that i'm one stubborn and childish kid back then, or even now still. lol =p
But hey, at least i've improved =)
(in some ways) xD
Here's a story to share with you readers..........
Here's a man, not until he almost lost his wife, he finally learned to thank God for her. This couple had been married for many years. One evening, she suddenly collapsed from a massive heart attack. There was no pulse when the paramedics arrived. At the hospital, where she had revived somewhat, he was told that only an experimental drug might save her. Many prayed for her and the drug worked. He got his wife back and this is what he said ::
"Although i had always loved and appreciated my wife, yet i seldom made it a point to thank the Lord for her. Isn't it sad commentary that when i'm so near to lose her only i started to prompt thanksgiving. I've give thanks for so many things, except for HER. The last time i actually give thanks for her is when we got married."
Sometimes, it takes frightening storms in our lives to help us see how God blessed us.
Sometimes those who have the most reason to give thanks are the least thankful.
The more we are thankful, the more we discover to be thankful for.
Realizing one blessing in your life will lead to the discovery of many others =)
.......Dear Readers.......
Think of the people in your life and the great blessing they are.
Think of the many ways God has spared you from pain, difficulty, and even death.
Yes, sometimes when people left us, we teared. Especially those whom you've bounded with. But that's when you should try to get up and stand strong on your feet =)
Easy say than done, yeah?
But remember one thing,
Everything happen for a reason and when time passed, it might be a blessing to you and others as well ;)
Lets give thanks together
Great days ahead people..
Thanks for viewing.
